Moroccan Leather Calling Card Case Antique Georgian c1790
VVV8582
£100.00
A charming Georgian calling card case dating to circa 1790, crafted from rich Moroccan leather that has mellowed beautifully with age. The case retains three original calling cards inscribed for Mr George Withers, each preserved in its original sequence—a genuine snapshot of Georgian social etiquette.
The lid pulls away cleanly to reveal the cards within, demonstrating the ingenious design of period business card holders. The leather shows authentic patina and wear consistent with nearly two and a half centuries of use, with visible creasing and colour variation that speaks to its provenance.
A sophisticated accessory for the serious collector of Georgian ephemera and antique writing implements, or a distinctive display piece for those who appreciate working examples of period craftsmanship.
Size 7.8 x 4.3 x 0.8 cm or 3.0 x 1.6 x 0.3 inches.
